they have 28 days left to make a deal before the country hits what's called the fiscal cliff. that's a combination of across the board tax increases for everyone, coupled with cuts in spending like defense, education, health care, and housing assistance. let's go live to our chief white house correspondent jessica yellin with the very latest. jessica? >> reporter: president obama has now personally turned down speaker boehner's opening offer to avert the fiscal cliff. he did it in a tv interview. what does president obama think of speaker boehner's proposal to avert the fiscal cliff? >> unfortunately, the speaker's proposal right now is still out of balance. he talks about $800 billion worth of revenues but says he's going to do that by lowering rates. when you look at the math, it doesn't work. >> reporter: he won't agree to eliminate a tax deduction for contributions to charity. >> every hospital and university and nonfor profit agency across the country would find themselves on the verge of collapse. so that's not a realistic option. >> reporter: but the president didn't sa

talking about this looming fiscal cliff. and unless congress and the white house can reach a deal on cutting the deficit, we're heading over it. we just heard from the president who says solving the fiscal cliff is simple math. >> i know the math pretty well. and it really is arithmetic, not calculus. >> let's bring in the author of the book "how to really ruin your financial life and portfolio," ben stein. ben, good to see you. >> nice to see you. >> a high stakes meeting slated for this friday. what can the president afford to give up in these negotiations and how about congressional republicans? what can they give up? >> i think the ideal solution would be to keep the tax increases, to keep the tax increases in place. mr. buffett is completely correct. we need higher taxes. we need higher taxes than the one contemplated in the fiscal cliff. i would be extremely worried about the cuts in defense. we live in an extremely challenging world. i hate to see the u.s. cut one dollar out of defense when as long as we have enemies

well they are trying to deal with the fiscal issues, this fiscal cliff that's coming at the end the year but still while they are talking about it there's not a lot of movement of how to break the logjam and get past the partisanship in order to reach agreement. the to do items that the president has laid out have gone nowhere up here in capitol hill. when you talk about the clean energy investment that's on the president's to-do list, as an example house republicans unveiled a proposal of a package of bills not having to do with clean energy, if you will, but actually having to do with producing more domestic oil. so that's where their focus is. so the battle lines remain the same. we have to hear what the president says and we'll be looking for reaction right after that. >> you'll get a lot of reaction. jessica yellin is in the briefing room getting ready for this briefing. jessica it's supposed to start about now. they haven't given us a two-minute warning yet? >> no, no two-minute warning. he should be coming out any moment. my guidance -- they haven't put out his remarks yet. he'll
